is it true that you cant have a coil fitted without general anesthetic if you have had two sections?

friend wants to know. she has been told this by someone but it doesnt sound right to me.

No, thats not true.

thank you. thats what i thought.
i will ask her to see a differnt gp

I had a coil fitted after 3 sections didn't even know there was any anesthetic available, have since found out that you can have local anesthetic.....

Unless she has other reasons why it might be tricky - people are sometimes reluctant to fit coils in people who havent had a baby - I suppose if you had only has sections it might be the same from that point of view as having never had a baby? I have had 2 sections and a coil, but I have also had a VB, so maybe that changes things.

That rings a bell Tigger, as it was a bit 'ouch'!

not at all true - 3 sections here. No more uncomfortable than a smear. Not a mirena though.

I've had 2 sections and a mirena fitted, absolutely fine, didn't hurt in the slightest. She's fine.

I've also had 2 sections and a mirena fitted, although I did have a cervical block to put the mirena in because I have a tilted uterus. The block was great and I didn't feel a thing.

I had my coil fitted after two sections - a little discomfort but nothing major, I took paracetamol beforehand.

In fact, I have had it removed today as the 5 years is up.

I had a Mirena fitted before I'd ever been pg.
